Dodgers vs Mariners 2026 series

The July 28 opening game of the three‑game series saw the Seattle Mariners edge the Los Angeles Dodgers 7‑6, fueled by five home runs and a strong offensive push. Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski yielded five runs in six innings, while Mariners ace Luis Castillo allowed two homers over five. The win gave Seattle an early advantage in the National League West race, where the Dodgers held a narrow lead over the Brewers.

Two days later, the Dodgers rebounded with a 4‑2 victory at Dodger Stadium. Eric Lauer delivered six shutout innings, conceding just one hit and striking out four, while reliever Edwin Díaz returned from elbow surgery to record his fifth save of the season. Key contributions came from Andy Pages, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, whose hits and RBIs helped secure the win. The series remains pivotal for playoff positioning as both clubs continue to vie for postseason spots.
